Web Applications: The Open Front Door to your Data

Sensitive data that was once locked in filing cabinets inside buildings with security guards, closed circuit cameras, motion detectors and pressure sensitive floors, is now accessible from the internet. Web applications are often the gateway between the outside world and an organization’s internal sensitive systems and data. Stealing sensitive data belonging to these organizations has become as easy as walking through the organization’s virtual front door. Changes to how data is accessed and made available must be accompanied by changes in our approach to protecting that data.
